St John of God Hospital in Warrnambool welcomed the Stryker Mako robot in 2023. Mr Sutherland has been trained on the use of the robot, in Victoria, NSW, and also in the UK, and began using the robot to assist with knee replacement in July 2023.
Robotic knee replacement surgery offers several advantages for individuals suffering from knee problems. Firstly, the precision of robotic assistance allows surgeons to tailor the procedure to each patient's unique anatomy, resulting in better alignment and fit of the new knee implant. This can lead to improved function and longevity of the replacement joint. Additionally, robotic technology enhances the surgeon's ability to remove damaged tissue with minimal impact on surrounding healthy structures, leading to faster recovery times and reduced post-operative pain. Overall, robotic knee replacement surgery offers patients a more accurate, less invasive, and faster recovery option for restoring mobility and relieving pain in their knees.
